-
The superconductor is described by a complex function called the order parameter, and indicates the fraction of electrons that has condensed into a superfluid.
-
A superconductor is a material which has no electrical resistance whatever.

The superconductor is the coil and not the air (assuming there is no core).
-
A superconductor is a material which, when you cool it down enough, its resistivity goes to zero, so it will pass a current with no resistance at all.

In the last 20 years, however, scientists have begun developing a new kind of superconductor - whereas the traditional 'low temperature' (LTS) type need to be at temperatures of -270 C and cooled with liquid helium, new 'high temperature' superconductors
